GARCÍA Bermejo, Antonio. Oracion fúnebre... en las solemnes exequias celebradas... en la Real Iglesia de S.Isidro de Madrid... por el alme del Rey de las Dos Sicilias Francisco Primero. Madrid: Eusebio Aguado, 1831. 4° (252 x 185mm). Half-title, lithographic plate of the catafalque by its architect, Antonio Lopez Aguado, 4pp. of related text followed by the title, a dedication leaf and pp.6-45 of text and notes. CONTEMPORARY BINDING BY ANTONIO SUÀREZ, purple straight-grained morocco, the covers blocked in gilt with the arms of King Ferdinand VII of Spain, surrounded by a wide border in gilt and blind with elaborate 'gothic' cornerpieces tooled in gilt over cream, red and green morocco inlays, the flat spine divided into seven compartments by roll-tools, gilt turn-ins, purple watered-silk liners and endleaves, g.e., binder's ticket on rear free-endpaper, modern cloth box. A ROYAL BINDING IN THE ROMANTIC STYLE BY THE GREATEST SPANISH BOOKBINDER OF THE 19TH CENTURY. This is one of 12 copies bound in 'the most sumptuous modern style' for 320 Reales per volume (cf. Suárez's bill printed by López Serrano, 1942, p.13), and presumably intended as gifts from the king and queen to other high-ranking mourners. Ferdinand's Queen, Maria Christina, was the daughter of Francis I, of the Two Sicilies.
